"Through this site, I wish to revive the lobster, tuna and sardine which were prosperous port Audierne between 1930 and 1980, a time when fishing weighed its weight in the economy of the entire Cape Sizun.I would also like to pay tribute to all those bosses and fishermen, proud and brave, their families, especially those who have sacrificed their lives for their commitment to this noble profession.The purpose of this site is to present the fishing boats of that era, I can not ignore the remarkable work of all craftsmen and laborers, carpenters, sail boats, mechanics, blacksmiths, electricians who built these boats strong and armed and elegant, beautiful book certainly as evidenced by the few units still visible today.A thought also to operators of nostalgic "Radio Conquet" which for years have been a valuable link between the boats and families ashore."

So goes the introduction to a veritable treasure chest. Les Dundees is a photo archive, and an historic documentation, of commercial fishing on the Breton coast, centered around Audierne and Isle de Sein. It is an unparalleled tableaux, a rich feast of history. This work spans the decades from 1930 to 1980 and chronicles, indirectly, the transition from sail to diesel. With great attention to detail, this archivist brings to life the boats and the life of the Breton fishermen. There are four main groups, Le langoustier and sardinier, lobster and crab boats, Les thonier, tuna boats, Les cotiers, inshore boats , and Les hommes, devoted to sailors. Though ostensibly about the boats, this site is ultimately about the lives of fisherman told through the boats and through photographs of crew. It is without doubt one of the richest and deepest evocations of a transitional period of human endeavor I've found to date, I think it's rather profound, though it doesn't present itself that way. You'll find the presentation a bit antiquated, innocent and charming, but there's great stuff here. And be forewarned, you could lose hours, even days, taking the site in. It is a vast amount of material. What I've presented here is the merest tiny tip of the iceberg. Please risk it, you'll be greatly rewarded. Here .

I would like to apologize for the clumsy translation vis a vis the captions, I don't have french and was defaulted to using a translator, but really, that shouldn't get in the way. Enjoy
